    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    I wish I had a better way to wiring in my lights than what I have now, other than that, electrical work is pretty easy for me for some reason.

    On the other hand... going to be doing the OME Lift Kit this weekend, that will be a new adventure.

    Love that bumper, but really love all the lights that are built into it.

    It is, little here, little there.

    Exhaust re-route to make a flat belly for the new skids.

    Can't find the 1.5" Factor 55 fair lead I bought so running the Warn fair lead for now. Need to let the springs settle in with the new weight and then make pre-load adjustments if necessary.

    Yeah, it's sweet. I'm just retarded and can't find it right now. I dig the Flatlink E as I simply slipped a Crosby shackle right through it. Need to fiddle with the winch for a bit as it's surprisingly fast. It comes with a wireless remote that is really cool but I want to see if I can buy a wired remote for those "just in case" moments.

    Finally getting wired up :thumbsup: Careful with the dual battery weight up front there, the sheet metal doesn't care for the extra weight

    I agree. I'm starting to have issues with mine after about a year and a half of beating on the truck.

    The pair of batteries are group 35's which are a bit lighter than the factory Tacoma batteries. Plus there is the issue of the outside being fiberglass now. I'll definitely be watching it and possibly will be welding in some type of gusset or bracing to support it later. This is an issue where I wish the Sport models didn't come with that separate ABS booster on the passenger side.
